I've thought about this as opposed to what I described, but it just doesn't quite fit the bill. (And I can't find an a/m which works this way anymore, and a/m don't work with GV anyway.) The problem with this solution is that the phone will still ring if someone on the list calls and doesn't have an important call.
Here's where I'm coming from. I work graves, so sleep during the day. Since NOBODY TRULY GETS IT, not even family and friends, I turn my ringers off when I sleep. If I didn't I'd never get any sleep. BUT, when there's an emergency, such as when my grandpa was dying, nobody can get through to me. I'd love for my grandma, for instance, to be able to call, on a daily basis, whenever she wanted and leave me a mesasge without it disturbing me if I'm asleep. But I'd like for her to be able to RING THROUGH in an emergency situation.

Nice! It amazes me that people are ALREADY excited to LEAVE the MJ+, which just barely came out. Ok, maybe amazes isnt' the right word. Maybe "doesn't surprise" would have been a better phrase.
